Is this not the snippet of music from the old tune "Lily Burlero?"

Scroll to the bottom.


Lilliburlero is the signature tune of the world service of the BBC and
so is heard all over the world many times a day.


Yes, but that's not Bow Bells.

The bells are more of a ''tuning signal'' than an ID. Like the kiwi
on RNZI or the Waltzing Mathilda on R. Australia, no?


Yes, an interval signal.

It is said that to be a true Londoner one must be born within the sound of Bow
Bells.
